Isn’t it normally considered bad form to discuss someone without pinging them?
I don’t have to feign any concern for religious freedom. My religious freedom is one of the most important things to me, and one of the primary things I love about this country.
It scares the hell out of me when people don’t consider the ramifications of injecting their own particular religion into government, and I find nothing “conservative” about eroding the protections for religion our founding fathers put into the Constitution.
If you don’t mind the government poking its nose into your church, then you should have no problem arguing for greater religious involvement with government.
Do you have a problem with the IRS determining what churches can do or say to maintain their tax-exempt status? Do you have problems with the Greesly dragging pastors in the front of the Senate Committees to rectally examine everything the churches do? I am much more concern with the power of the government being used against churches. What churches do to influence the government is of little concern to me from a freedom stand point. They have as much right as anyone to try to influence public policy.
